Title: Todays Bus Excursion Post by: devon_metro on September 29, 2009, 19:28:03 With the failure of 0906 Pad Ply due to Hox Axle Box:
1A85 1255 Plymouth Paddington was formed: Plymouth - Exeter 153373. (Totnes and Newton Abbot calls canned presumably due to it being packed) Exeter - Taunton 153737+142068 Taunton - London Paddington normal HST set All in a days work!

I hope it's not a fault/failure because that could trigger a spate of failures as more of the same age bearings run similar milages.

The coach was removed as it was a genuine alert. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
